Transcription of Spanish and Spanish-Influenced EnglishTemple University, briang{at}temple.edu In the United States alone, almost 9% of the population-22 million individuals-speaks Spanish (Grimes, 1996). The population of Hispanics/Latinos is predicted to increase to 51 million individuals by the year 2025 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1995). Many of these individuals will be native Spanish speakers who will be acquiring English. More than likely, their production of the English phonological system will be influenced by their pronunciation of Spanish (and vice versa in some cases). This article provides information on the transcription of Spanish, common dialects of Spanish, Spanish-influenced English, and English-influenced Spanish.
